A few weeks ago I had the privilege of doing some shots for a this family, and to get to know them a little bit better! Mike & Leanne are very active members of my church, so it was nice to be able to actually meet them in their home, and to get to know them and see what daily life is like for their family of now 5 – too bad one son was away! Mike & Leanne we’ll have to do this again some time, it was soo much fun!
Mike & Leanne have such a great relationship with their children. You can tell just by the way they interact with their children and the love they shower on them – just like their Father showers on them.
I hope you guys enjoy these images and treasure them for a long time to come!
Blessings,

Really? Is it possible to make a baby any cuter than this little girl?
Mike & Nate like to play a little game called “chase”. It’s pretty simple, Mike basically chases Nate around, catches him, and tickles away until his gails of laughter echo throughout the house. Then they start again:)
You can also definetly tell they have big dreams for each and everyone of their children.

This week I found a gorgeous new model, and I couldn’t resist taking more than 1 shot of her!
Actually I think I am going to go away from just doing 1 shot, not that I am backing down from the challenge, but I am finding that I am not learning as much as I could be if I can play around with different setups and try different things.
Anyways, technical setup was my 5D with 100mm macro lens, a 580EX II on a 42 inch shoot through umbrella to my right as my main light, and a 50 inch white reflector on my left to act as a fill. I also had another 580 EX II to act as a rim light behind my model.
Blessings,
Mark

I know this is late, but better late than never, right?
This week I got some new flash triggers for my camera, and so on Good Friday I decided to play around and shoot myself. Not gonna lie, I definetly could not do this one in a single shot (self potraits are very hard!), so after about 200 shots I ended up with this one. If you ever decide to shoot self portraits, here is a hint: teach yourself to smile first:)
My technical setup was a Canon 1D Mark IV camera with an 85mm 1.2L lens (amazing lens btw – kudos Canon!). For lighting I was going for a butterfly lighting setup (with a single umbrella directly above the camera), but I modified it a bit and for this shot I had a reflector in front of me, and I have 2 Canon 580 EX II speedlites firing into the white side of the reflector. If you have any comments on how I could have improved the lighting, please let me know!
I hope you like it, please don’t be too harsh and hurt my feelings!
Blessings,
Mark
